The SRAM website doesn't show the 11-36 or 12-36 gear options except for Off road. Is this also for road and will it fit the derailleur?

11-36, 12-36 gearing is typically for mountain or cross bikes. If this is going on a road bike, most likely your derailleur is too short and will not work with the the larger gears. Most road cassettes only go up to 28t (and that is probably the max a "short-cage" derailleur can take). If you want easier gearing, go with 12-28t, compact chainrings in the front, or get a med-cage derailleur to handle the 12-36.

I would be extremely surprised your derailleur has the capacity for a 11-36 or 12-36. 11-28 is the most they typically can handle, if that.

I can't completely answer your question. I have a Tiagra derailleur and I must say it took some time to adjust so that the 28 didn't hit the derailleur. But after some adjusting, I'm very happy with the performance.

It would not, per the specifications. You would need a rear derailleur with a capacity of at least 40 for what you seek. The RD-6700 GS has a capacity of 39T, might have to use an MTB RD to get what you are looking for.The Shimano RD-5600 GS (long cage) has a capacity of 37T. Your current combination of compact chain-rings (50-34= 16) plus PG 1070 (32-11= 21) is up to the RD-5600 GS's capacity (16+21= 37).You can try it, but it would be much beyond the design specifications.

Yeah, it will fit. You will need a 9 speed chain for sure. The front shifter on a 4300 is designed for an 8 speed, so you can tweek the derailleur until it just barely works, or buy a new 9 shifter too.

Hello Mike here: I am not familiar with the 2300 so I don't know how many sprockets are on it but if the number of sprockets are the same I am pretty sure you will be able to use the same derailleur. I hope this helps.

As important as verifying that it has square bottom-bracket fitting, which it likely has, is making SURE the gear-teeth/ratios numbers match..whatever your old one is, it will create problems and more work if you try to fit one smaller or larger number of teeth, the front derailleur will not be in the right position and adjustment for a start...if your largest cog is 42T, you will be easier off with another with 42T, best to get the middle gear the same such as 34T or 32T, as well.

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!

I recomend to buy Shimano derailleur pulley. Sram is similar and may be they work but is not for sure.

I recommend doing some reading. Short answer is they allow for different big big and small small gear combinations. Look here for a good explanation. http://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks/when-use-long-cage-vs-short-cage-derailleur-205890.html Figure out what gears you plan on running up front and in back and then choose the appropriate cage per manufacture recommendation. I hope this helps

Hi! I doubt it could even handle 9 speed; SHIMANO gear is dialed in tight these days. It can definitely use XTR 10 speed Chain quite well however as I have and a recommended Upgrade As is the XTR/DURA ACE level bottom bracket and cable sets. Stick with the spec's! Happy Trails

Not enough information to tell you if this derailleur will work for you. Need an idea of the cable routing and if cabless pull from the top or bottom of the derailleur. Sorry I can't help you resolve this question. Nick Carper

It will, but not as well as you think. A 6 speed freewheel has a larger cog distance from the next one, and a 7 speed freewheel/cassette is much closer. However, there are alternatives you can buy (Shimano Revo Shift 6 speed or SRAM MRX Comp 6 speed) that will match performance well. Also, when you get the indexing and limits correct, give the shift cable a good stretch, then readjust the indexing if necessary. This stretches the cable before leading to future shifting problems. As for the front, it will work perfectly.

First, it's a 12-30 not 11-30 and I have used this cassette with both a 105, RD 5700 short cage and an Ultegra RD 6700 short cage derailleur. That said, it is not compatible according to Shimano. I have read a great deal about longer B tension screws, frame geometry and hanger length but have done nothing beyond fitting the cassette and cranking the B tension to get about 1/4" (6mm) clearance between the jockey roller and cogs. If you're switching from an 11-28 the chain will probably be long enough but if you current biggest cog is 25 or smaller you will probably need a new chain. Personally, I have had trouble installing the Shimano connecting pins but have had no problem using the KMC quick links with Shimano chains.

I used on my Specialized Stump Jumper with 36t ring I purchased at the same time as this derailleur due to wear to both and it works great. 44t would be to big.

Yes, you can use!! No problem !!!! There is two rolles near the Rear Derailleur (one role leftside and one role right side), you will fix it there!!!!

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).
